Fred's suggestion solved the problem. I only changed the 5 to 3 in the InitPointerDeviceStruct line in init.c. It seems clear that HP OV NNM binds it's "middle" and "right" menus to the last two buttons rather than explicitly to buttons 2 and 3. I found this behavior on olwm and afterstep as well, fvwm2 worked OK with the 5 button pointing device init.

Looks like line 627 in init.c () has a: InitPointerDeviceStruct(pDev,map,5,miPointerGetMontionEvents, ... Someone could try changing this to ...map,3,... to see what it does. Could probably bring the map array down to a size of 4 (for a max index of 3) also. Or maybe you need to change the map settings in the previous lines. May be the third button actually maps to the "last" button on the actual device, or 5 in the new code. I'd give it a try but I have to physically move my management station today :-) Fred Reimer Eclipsys Corporation > -----Original Message----- > From: Mel Stotyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 6:08 PM > To: ovforum: the OpenView Forum mail list for network management > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [ovforum] RE: Trouble with VNC and OpenView > > > I have also had this problem. > I have VNC 3.3.3r2 on Solaris 8 running the server half and > VNC 3.3.3r7 on > WIN2K running the viewer. > I retrieved the previous versions from the VNC site and still > have the same > problem. > I retrieved VNC 3.3.2r2 from an old backup and ran a server > instance on my > Solaris box; still VNC 3.3.3r7 viewer on WIN2K. > This does not have the right mouse problem. > Therefore, the problem appears to have been introduced in the > VNC server > after 3.3.2r2. > > Here is a difference: > > xmodmap -pp # prints the current pointer map > > There are 3 buttons in VNC 3.3.2r2; there are 5 buttons in > 3.3.3r1 and r2. > I don't know if this is what is causing the problem or not. > > I searched the VNC mailing list archive and found some > discussion of this > issue in 2000/06 and 2000/10 but no resolution. > > Mel Stotyn, Senior Specialist > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 403 537-5913 > Quick Link Communications Ltd. http://www.qlccom.com > 403 265-5558 > 1505, 311 6 Avenue SW > Calgary, AB > T2P 3H2 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Reimer, Fred [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 11:51 AM > To: ovforum: the OpenView Forum mail list for network management > Subject: [ovforum] RE: Trouble with VNC and OpenView > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 8:53 PM > > To: ovforum: the OpenView Forum mail list for network management > > Subject: [ovforum] Trouble with VNC and OpenView > > > > > > Hi, > > Anyone out there using VNC to view Openview NNM? > > Yes. > > > > > Have you had trouble with the right mouse button in > > the Topology view?
